Our home inspection service gives you, the buyer, detailed information on potential problems — important information that you need to make a wise decision.

During your home inspection, a certified inspector takes an in-depth and unbiased look at your potential new home. We will provide you with an accurate, unbiased report on all components of the home you are thinking of either buying or selling. Upon completion of the inspection, you will recieve a comprehensive, detailed and in-depth report.

What is a home inspection?

Inspectors observe the house from the roof to the foundation, and many places in between. When trouble signs are recognized, an inspector will share information they possess about the trouble spot. Some items simply indicate the need for normal or routine type repairs, while others signal the need for additional insight that only a specialist can provide.

While Lakes Area Home Inspectors invest over 20 hours per year to further their education, or knowledge base, there are certain times where only the informed opinion of a specialist will suffice. Why not skip the home inspection and just bring in a plumber, carpenter, roofer, heating and cooling technician, electrician, and maybe even a structural engineer to look at your house?

That is a potential option, but not a realistic option. Keep in mind the investment you make with a home inspector vs. the cost of bringing in specialists from each field. The fees for a home inspection range in the ‘hundreds of dollars’ category, but the total bill for a full complement of specialists could easily run ten times more, not to mention the scheduling nightmare you would endure!

Contacting a Lakes Area Home Inspector is the first step in making sure your inspection needs are fulfilled by an honest, educated, and seasoned professional. Inspectors are very knowledgeable in the many separate ‘pieces of the puzzle’ that fit together to make a house.

I hired Michael and his team to inspect two properties before we made our final offers. Not only were he and his team exceptionally friendly and easy to work with; they saved me roughly $5,000 in repairs and replacements. (Little things I wouldn’t have asked for.) I can’t recommend Lake Area Home Inspections enough, if you’re looking for a reliable home inspector.

Kyle is AWESOME! If I could give them 10 stars I would. Right from the beginning, Kyle we felt as if we had know Kyle for years. He and my husband clicked right away. That connection allowed us to feel comfortable asking questions and really understanding what we were looking at. Kyle took his time and was extremely thorough. He didn’t scare us into ordering unnecessary tests but didn’t sugar coat his finding either. Buying a home is stressful enough. Kyle (and Mike) both made this piece easy and pleasant.

We are moving up to Twin Lakes WI, and Mike and Kyle did a fantastic job of our home inspection. They were very thorough with their work and took the time to explain how to best maintain certain items like the garage door and hvac system. For someone who isn’t very handy like myself, it was very educational. I highly recommend their services!

We were very happy with the honest professional service we received from Mike. When I spoke with him on the phone he was very detailed about what was included in the inspection. While he was inspecting the home he was very thorough.
